Anyone have experience working CWX side of Facebook (Meta) ? These are the full time contract roles that potentially turn into permanent roles directly with Facebook (Meta). Had a recruiter reach out and offering me comparable TC and such, just curious if anyone has experience in these roles and success/failure of transitioning into permanent role. Thanks in advance!

Theoretically, you might have fewer days of normal productivity than a younger person.
Blood pressure, secondary illnesses, immunity, etc.
To do your job, you need better conditions, a well-ventilated room, more oxygen, roughly speaking. Young people have better vascular capacity and higher hemoglobin levels.
Insurance will cost you more.
Theoretically.
Communicating with colleagues on unrelated topics is a problem.
People like to talk, chat, and converse, not just work.
You have different interests, reflections, and associations. A simple example: in chats, colleagues often exchange pictures and movie clips to convey their emotions. I can do this too, but my associations are different. My colleagues haven't seen the films that evoke associations for me.
I believe that a programming language really is a "language."
Roughly speaking, you're saying the following: I express my thoughts perfectly in English and create emotional and logical constructs in it. Therefore, I can quickly learn to use any other language.
Agree on the ageism and it's such an artificia concept. We are all growing older and learning. Older people have less likelihood changing jobs, typically more loyal and also contribute largely in non directly visible places such as acting as mentors for others or guiding.
Unfair wrap and label where older gents and ladies may be seen as non trainable so the whole display growth mindset and adaptability is so key to people with long track records.
Pair them with someone younger and you can get a lot of value 🤗

Keep showing up and finding a place for yourself in the industry! I’m just more in awe that you feel like keeping up with the joneses. I’m only 10 years in the industry and I feel like it may not be forever
Unfortunately, ageism is a major issue in this field. I’m 45 and I’m already experiencing it. No clue how we can combat these stereotypes. All of these younger people are willing to do our jobs for a lot less money.
